About Xe

Xe is a cross-border payments platform. We help SMEs and consumers in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand collect, convert, hold, and send money across markets. Each year, over 300 million people use Xe for currency information and over 350,000 use us to send money overseas.

Today, we're rebuilding the platform layer behind cross-border payments for corporate and consumer clients. We're small enough that your code ships fast and your decisions matter, and Euronet Worldwide (Nasdaq: EEFT) backs us so the problems stay real-scale.

About This Role

We're hiring a senior back-end engineer who owns real problems end-to-end and shapes how the team builds, from API design and data modeling through to service implementation, production reliability, and launch. You already use AI as part of how you think, build, test, and ship.

You'll write code that moves money in production, design and modernize the backend services the platform runs on, and lead delivery of new capability as Xe rebuilds its platform layer.



You'll work in a small team with direct access to product, compliance, and operations, own architecture in your domain, lead design reviews, mentor mid-level engineers, and partner with architects and team leads on cross-domain decisions.

What You'll Do

Design and own backend services that move money and manage multi-currency balances across a range of domains, including onboarding, KYC and KYB, payment initiation, FX, settlement, and other supporting services.
Lead cross-functional delivery with product, compliance, and operations from problem framing through launch.
Lead the build of the partner integrations and settlement infrastructure your domain depends on.
Own production health for your domain, including reliability, observability, on-call, and incident response.
Lead design reviews, set technical direction for your domain, and mentor mid-level engineers.
Use agentic coding tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, or equivalent)
